TRANSPORTING INSTRUCTIONS

The machine may be transported with the wheels on or off. With wheels on:-

• DO NOT remove air from

tires, this will result in damage to the tires! With wheels off:• If the wheels are removed the machine must be blocked so that the center joint is one inch or more above the truck bed. With the wheels on or off:• The dozer blade must be down on the truck bed. • The articulation lock bar must be installed.

RETAINING BOLT • The machine must be cross chained (side to side) at both the front and rear axle area. • Additional chains may be installed on the two tow lugs (front of unit) and on the bottom cab access steps.

IMPORTANT !

When transporting the machine, chains must be used to prevent forward, reverse and side to side movement of the machine. Do not secure the machine to the truck ANYWHERE near the center joint area as this can seriously damage the center joint. Use only transport regulation chains for this purpose, example; 5/16” grade 7 with a tensile strength of 43500kg(96,000lb)/chain. Using inferior or damaged chains could cause the load to shift.
